- Description:
-
- This little utility will be found handy by people who print DOS text files.
- It reads the entire text file and estimates number of pages (either single
- or continues) that will be used for printing, it estimates the printing
- time on both 160 characters per second (draft) and 40 characters per second
- (Near Letter Quality) - these two figures are for a standard dot/matrix
- printer.
-
- Preprint will also suggest the pitch to be used while printing
- the documents :
-
- all lines shorter or equal to 80 characters - PITCH 10
-
- at least one line longer than 80, but shorter than 96 - PITCH 12
-
- at least one line longer than 96, but shorter than 120 - PITCH 15
-
- at least one line longer than 120 characters - WARNING !
-
- For further information on how to set the PITCH on your printer you will
- have to refer to your printer manual.
